This is what I understood, but I meant that if this is not possible, then announcing the need of "svn cleanup" in NEWS.Debian would be better than nothing. > That's already documented in the 1.7 release notes. But this can be a bit hidden for the end user and NEWS.Debian doesn't even point to them. It should because a user who does an upgrade of many packages won't necessarily notice that he installs a new version of Subversion with significant changes (in particular the new format of working copies, as it can affect user programs based on the .svn directories -- I had various scripts that were using them). For the same reason, zsh users will also be affected by bug 679345. Moreover, since this is some form of regression, I think it is worth mentioning the need of "svn cleanup" in NEWS.Debian too. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
